Nice IKE, Nektarios!

It was well worth the tedious time and effort on the airwing that makes this one fantastic!

Here are two models from the same kit; the Corsair Armada USS Garcia DE-1040 kit. Now I need to get another kit to make the USS Glover FF-1098.

USS Garcia and USS Brooke......

I hope that in my next life i will remember only this. Not to become a doctor. I have no time to build thw kits i am buying. The unbuilt kits i have are more than 100. Several of them are aircraft carriers ( CV-67, CVA-11, CV-31, CV-34, CV-36,CVS-37, CVA-59, CV-60 CVN-77 ), landing ships ( converted Essex class, Tarawa class, Wasp class ) battleships ( Iowa class ), battlecruisers ( Kirov class ), cruisers ( Slava class ), and several classes of destroyers and frigates including ships of more than a dozen navies. I wiil start building these when i ll have more time (retirement).

As for your "warning" not to build the Glover before you do. My fleet which is more than 800 strong including 370 USN ships will crush you if you dare to attack. A couple of carrier battlegroups plus some additional assets ( Oscar class submarines ) will be enough. :jest: :jest: :jest: :lol_pound: :lol_pound: :lol_pound:

:big_grin: :big_grin:

Well, I gess it´s too late for you (and for me) to bail out from Medicine, but remember this, young Padawan...

If you want to build models at a steady rate... Never, ever marry!

And if you are already married (I gess you are not, but I could be wrong)... Never, ever have children! :heh: :heh:

My wife have just delivered my fourth son, and my Jorge Juan is dusting uncompleted. :(


No, hehe, just kidding. Wife and Children are great, but they reduce modelling time for sure!

Carl, extremely sharp work, as always.
Nektarios, I keep surprising on your tenacity in representing complete airwings (and doing it really well!)

As far as my work is concerned, here is an update on Jorge Juan.

Thanks in advance.

Mitch

Another fantastic model Sparrow. I love all postwar converted (more or less) WWII warships. I have to complete the 600 ship fleet i am constructing in order to start with the postwar fleet.

Yeah. Great indeed. When I first saw Mr. Nikos Kommnatas work, in Pit-Road´s website gallery I felt really inspired.
And I have ever since adopted the plan to build a similar diorama... only that it will have to wait till I buy a bigger house.

But I have finished my Jorge Juan.
Hope you like it!

It is but i guess that if the pics were black and white then it would be impossible to tell if it was a real ship or a model.

Wonderful destroyer there Sparrow :thumbs_up_1: May I ask how you made the Mk-25 radar on the Mk-37 director and the radars on the amidships 3"/50s?

Thank you all guys!. I´m glad you like it.

Cliffy B, I got the Mk 25 from an extra sprue carried by the Skywave USS Callaghan. I think it was intended to represent a japanese post-war Fletcher, and includeed different bridge layouts, a weapon alpha and some extra radars, including the Mk 25.

The "dishes" on the 3 inchers are from the spare parts box. I really cannot tell from what kit, but they are mere small dishes. I gess you could make them out of plasticard without trouble.

Another one of mr. Nikos Kommatas models.

Modified HMS Albion. More than 50 parts were added in order to improve the looks of the ship.
This is one of my friends best looking models.

I am jalous of his diorama and fleet Nektarios.

Damm i got to leave this house and live on my own. Then i can build an entire room of this junk :woo_hoo:

Tell Nikos Kommatas that he is doing an awesome job!
